Arizona voters fed up with homeless encampments, illicit drug use, and public urination approved a first-in-the-nation ballot measure to reimburse property owners for damages incurred by public nuisances — and the measure’s backers say they are looking to push the effort in other states.

The ballot measure, Proposition 312, passed with overwhelming support — 58.4 percent to 41.6 percent, with 68 percent of the vote tallied so far. It would allow property owners to apply for a property tax refund if a city or local government failed to enforce ordinances related to “illegal camping, loitering, obstructing public thoroughfares, panhandling, public urination or defecation, public consumption of alcoholic beverages, and possession or use of illegal substances.”
